11/04/11 – Ephemeris – GTAS activities this weekend plus fall back

November 4, 2011

Friday, November 4th.  The sun will rise at 8:23.  It’ll be up for 10 hours and 3 minutes, setting at 6:27.   The moon, 2 days past first quarter, will set at 3:23 tomorrow morning.

This evening the Grand Traverse Astronomical Society will be holding its monthly meeting at Northwestern Michigan College’s Rogers Observatory at 8 p.m.  This evening we will have a special program by the student astronomers of NMC.  And tomorrow night there will be a public viewing night from 8 to 10 p.m. with Jupiter and the moon as the featured targets if it will be clear.  You can never tell if it’s going to be clear or cloudy until its time to observe, especially this year.  The observatory is located south of Traverse City on Birmley Road between Garfield and Keystone Roads.  Tomorrow night also we fall back by turning our clocks back one hour as standard time resumes.  It’s going to be a lot darker in the evenings now.

* Times are for the Traverse City/Interlochen area of Michigan.  They may be different for your location.
